'M.C. Escher: Impossible Realities'

Event: “M.C. Escher: Impossible Realities”
Venue: Akron Art Museum
When: Saturday, Feb. 12, through Sunday, May 29
Why you might be interested: If you want to check out the work of one of the world's most influential graphic artists. The exhibition features 130 works by master printmaker Maurits Cornelis Escher, including his mathematically inspired “woodcuts, lithographs, mezzotints, sculptures and rare preparatory drawings that provide an in-depth view of the artist's creative processes,” the Akron museum says. Featured in the exhibition are recognizable works such as “Drawing Hands” and “Reptiles,” as well as the rare lithograph stone for the making of “Flat Worms.” The exhibition comes from the Herakleidon Museum in Athens, Greece, which houses one of the world's largest collections of Escher works. Akron is one of only two North American venues for this exhibition, so if your tastes run to impossible constructions and explorations of infinity, don't miss it.
